Find calm, balance and nervous system support in our longest running workshop!
Struggling with stress, anxiety, or feeling ungrounded? In this workshop, Ellen will guide you through thoughtfully designed yoga sequences to help you release tension, calm your nervous system, and cultivate lasting inner peace.
You’ll learn practical poses and techniques to ease anxiety in the moment, as well as long-term strategies to build resilience and prevent overwhelm. The session begins with grounding practices to settle excess energy, preparing you for deep relaxation. The second half focuses on a soothing sequence designed to reduce chronic stress—one of the root causes of anxiety.
Sound Bath Yoga: A Journey of Movement, Music & Mantra
Next Session: September 26th
5:30-6:45 PM
Step into a sanctuary of pure relaxation where gentle yoga, sacred sound, and soulful chanting meet. In this unique experience, you’ll flow through nourishing yoga postures before being enveloped in a rich tapestry of live sound—crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, handpan, harmonium, and more.
As the vibrations wash over you, ancient mantras and soulful chants will weave through the air, creating a heart-opening space for deep release and inner stillness. Feel your body soften, your mind quiet, and your spirit lift as each note resonates through every cell.
This is more than a class—it’s a journey for the senses, a meditation in motion, and a chance to reconnect with the peaceful rhythm within you. Leave feeling lighter, grounded, and glowing from the inside out.
Perfect for all levels—no yoga or meditation experience necessary. Bring an open heart and let the sound guide you home.

Join us where movement, music, and magic meet! This 1.5 hour workshop is an invitation to playfully reconnect with your body and rediscover the joy of embodied expression. We'll begin and end with gentle, yoga-inspired stretches to help you feel centered and grounded. In between, you’ll be guided through expressive dance, allowing you to move freely and intuitively to the music.
This is a journey for anyone and everyone. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or haven't moved like this in years, all you need is an open heart and a willingness to be yourself. This is your time to reclaim your joy and embrace your weird.
Feel free to wear something that makes you feel joyful and comfortable—something you can easily move and express yourself in. (Feeling festive? It’s spooky season! Feel free to dress in costume if you’d like!)
No prior yoga or dance experience is necessary.

*This is the first step towards living in wonder and delight. You will carry away with you techniques to use in every day life.
"Meditation is a naturally occurring rest state; it is resting in yourself while remaining awake and alert. Meditation is innate, and your body already knows how to do it. The human body has an instinctive ability to shift into profound rest states in order to heal, energize, integrate, tune itself up, and assimilate learning. . . Meditation promotes a heightened awareness of the details of everyday life. Even a few minutes of mediation will help you move through the world with more relaxation and alertness."
